| LOW bridge - high vehicle. The scene is all too familiar to rail chiefs exasperated by almost 5,000 such crashes in five years. So yesterday, Britain’s most battered railway bridge - 82 hits in six years - took another pounding to launch a campaign highlighting the danger. Stunt driver John Carr crashed an old bus into the Whitehouse Road bridge in Swindon.The top deck was crushed as it struck at 25mph.The bridge survived once more, virtually unscathed. |
Railtrack director Martin Reynolds said: ‘The scene illustrates the need for more awareness among drivers about low bridges.’ The 5,000 crashes across the country have meant repairs costing £25million and disruption to services. Mr Carr, 43, emerged safely from the wreckage of the green and grey former Slough No 365 and admitted he ‘thoroughly enjoyed’ the stunt. ‘It was very nice of Railtrack to invite me to do it.’ |
